Manuscripts should address or relate to communicating in a context of dissent, conflict, partisanship, tension, and so on. Manuscripts may focus on any type communication, including group, face-to-face, family, or mediated communication, and may use any methodology for analysis. We are particularly interested in unique, non-standard approaches and voices, but all manuscripts are welcome. Submissions from all geographic areas are encouraged, and one need not be a member of the Iowa Communication Association to submit a piece.
